Don't let math bore you or intimidate you, let it enhance your knowledge. Math is a tool, it can be the base of science and at the same time, the pinnacle of human development. It reflects the thoughts of our history and how far we've gotten. It is an age old artifact of great value.

Quadratic Relations
· Determine the basic properties of quadratic relations
· Solve quadratic equations and interpret the solutions with respect to the corresponding relations
· Solve problems involving quadratic relations yummy (:

Analytic Geometry
· Using Linear Systems to Solve Problems
· Solving Problems Involving Properties of Line Segments
· Using Analytic Geometry to Verify Geometric Properties yay.

Trigonometry
· Investigating Similarity and Solving Problems Involving Smaller Triangles
· Solving Problems Involving the Trigonometry of Acute Triangles
· Solving Problems Involving the Trigonometry of Right Triangles

Other Facts
Final Marks will be divided as such: 70% for in class work, 30% marks from the exam and a culminating activity (if chosen by the teacher)

Try these problems when you have time. There's going to take some time though you'll be satisfied if you find the solution.

Checkerboard and Dominoes Problem

Suppose you have a checkerboard, and a set of dominoes. Each domino is twice the area of a square of the checkerboard. Clearly, you could cover the entire checkerboard with thirty-two dominoes. But here's the question: Suppose you chopped off two opposite corners of the checkerboard. Can you now completely cover the remainder of the board using thirty-one dominoes?

Reciprocals of Integers Series

You have a series in which each element sn = 1/(n+1). The question is: does this series converge or diverge? In other words, does it have a finite (convergent) or infinite (divergent) sum?

Rectangular Prism Problem

Given a rectangular prism, the surface area is 94, and the sum of the lengths of the edges is 48. Find the length of an interior diagonal of the prism.

Two Logicians (very difficult..)

Two perfect logicians, S and P, are told that integers x and y have been chosen such that 1 < x < y and x+y < 100. S is given the value x+y and P is given the value xy. They then have the following conversation.

P: I cannot determine the two numbers.
S: I knew that.
P: Now I can determine them.
S: So can I.

Given that the above statements are true, what are the two numbers? (Computer assistance allowed.)
